The course was divided into three twelve-week units covering economics, government and communism. With an election year at hand, the government classes under the direction of Mr. Victor Manos staged a mock presidential preference election. County voting machines were brought into the school and students followed the true election procedures from registering to voting and the electoral college. Richard Nixon was the students' choice. Field trips and guest speakers were included in the Economics and Americanism versus Communism courses. Humanities was offered to both juniors and se- niors. Teacher aides tutored small study groups which were supplemented by the social studies re- search lab. ln depth study included such topics as the analysis of Freud's psychoanalysis and key Su- preme Court decisions. With the completion of the audio-visual complex, the department hoped to use the closed circuit tele- vision to improve large group and individual study.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE Students Pursued Knowing of Foreign Custom, People Killian created another first in its addition of first year Russian to the foreign language curriculum. Mr. Lewis Caputa, usually known as assistant principal of administration taught the new language course. Department heads, Mrs. Genevieve Andrews and Mrs. Sandra Hall, supervised the study of the other four languages through lectures, tapes, films, and slides, some of which the language teachers personally recorded in the countries. All language students had at their disposal the language resource center which was useful not only for self study, but for class reports and an actual view of foreign cultures. In forthcom- ing years, the language department hopes to attain more tangible equipment and study aids. They also plan to discontinue the audiolingual procedures and effect a merger between con- versation and current teaching approaches in order that students have the opportunity to speak and use the language daily. ss Q I 3 ' --.
